Analysis of the WCLL European demo blanket concept in terms of activation and decay heat after exposure to neutron irradiation

This comparative paper describes the activation and decay heat calculations for water-cooled lithium-lead performed part of the EURO fusion WPSAE programme and specifications in comparison to other European DEMO blanket concepts on the basis of using a three-dimensional neutronics calculation model.Results are provided for a range of decay times of

Postglacial Reconstruction of Fire History Using Sedimentary Charcoal and Pollen From a Small Lake in Southwest Yukon Territory, Canada

Previous research suggests climate warming during the current century is likely to lead to an increase in the frequency and severity of wildfire.Recent wildfire seasons in northern Canada generally support these studies, with some of the worst fire seasons on record occurring during the past decade.While we can readily track the spatial and tempora
